LibreOffice installed as the instructions stated.........

ok guys, 3.4.1-9 coming to your repo soon with these changes:

- added installation logfile: /tmp/lomanger-install.log (check this file if anything is going wrong)
- added progress bar for axel-downloads
- set of verification checks:
 a) is the package available on the LO-serversility
 b) check the axel-download (with 5-times resume download attempt if for whatever reason the first download gets interrupted)
 c) once downloaded check the md5sum of the package
 d) verify the tar-extraction of the package

Note: this version will only work for a few days until the new 3.4.2 will be available on the LO-servers.
Users with good bandwidth and wiling to scarifies their working LO3.4.1: though I successfully tested this version here for several LO-languages, can you please test this version. I need your feedback because this version will be the base for the new lomanager3.4.2.
thanks,

Hi luikki,
thanks for the report, please check for the file /tmp/lomanager-install.log, this file is created by running 3.4.1-9 and not deleted afterwards, so it must be there. Unless you have rebooted and set to clean /tmp upon rebooting?
Your output on paste bin is correct as well up to line 44. The file-size of the en_US base and help pack is correct as well. I tested all this here and it works well for all kind of LO-languages, also for other testers in other countries than Italy. The errors you get are coming from a corrupted en_US base-package. Can you download the base-pack directly and check the md5sum of it, should be: 5211f621e48f4ef94d97357987f6530f
lomanager checks the downloaded base-pack file against the accompanying md5sum and only proceeds if this test is positive. In fact, the offline-installer, which always works, is essentially a mini-version of lomanager and so the only explanation I can think of now is that the file on the local LO-servers has become corrupted. Most likely your md5sum is the one mentioned before, then the only error cause is the unarchiving but even this is tested for in 3.4.1-9 and only proceeds if passed. Oh boy, really curious to figure this out, this is giving me sleepless nights...

Luikki,

Just trying to debug the problem: can you use the offline installer to install the en_US version and then run the latest lomanager to try to add another LO-locale, just to see if that works? Adding a new LO-locale works the same as installing the base en_US.
thanks,
-p.

yes, that is what I mean. There are no errors in this log-file because no errors were encountered by lomanager. For this reason the only explanation I have is that the md5sum is different to the one I mentioned, and if not, then I have a very tough problem to solve...

download the base-pack directly

i did but:

Code: [Select]

tar xfz LO341.tar.gz
tar (child): LO341.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
 

can you pls. tell me how to check the md5sum?

Hi luikki,

after some more debugging, and thanks to the help of Tex: there is something strange going which I could fix but it will be tricky.
Instead, and to test a much easier solution first: could it be that you still have the old rpm/apt-get and synaptic? To test this, can you open Synaptic and then search for synaptic, in the column Installed Version you should have version 0.57.2-23.

a) your Synaptic version is older:
in Synaptic please search for and install aptupgrade. Then close Synaptic and all your applications, read and follow the instructions here. After you have installed this program you must run it from PCmenu -> Software Center -> Apt Upgrade. Then reboot your system, run lomanager again and let me know if it works or not.

b) your Synaptic version is uptodate: bad luck for me, need to code the fix....

I suspect option a) is the case and will fix your issues. Please let me know if I'm correct with this, I hope so because then I don't need to do option b) 
-p.

pinoc,

I downloaded the file from the above link http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.1/rpm/x86/LibO_3.4.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz, but it redirects to http://mirror3.mirrors.tds.net/pub/documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.1/rpm/x86/LibO_3.4.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz. Anyway, the md5sum does match.

pinoc,

your Synaptic version is older

yes, it was. after running aptupgrade, libre office install was a breeze.

i apologize for causing so much trouble. i shouldn't have forgotten to run aptupgrade in this laptop...

thanks a million!
i hope you enjoy your holiday.

Hi luikki,

yeah! Great to hear this is fixed finally!

i hope you enjoy your holiday.

now, yes! Last day though.... 

will add a test for updated rpm into the next lomanager 3.4.2, out when 3.4.2 is final, so within the next 2-3 days.
and off to the beach, ha!

There is bound to be some confusion over this situation.

Currently lomanager requires aptupgrade to have been run.

But as far as I am aware there has been no notice that users need to do this .....  or at least no clear notice.

All I found was this

http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,92661.0.html

Which said

Another notice will be posted when the package is available for installation and what is required for successful installation

I have not seen the other notice ..... that does not mean it does not exist 

So it seems we have some packages which require aptupgrade to be run first, but users have not bee advised to do so yet.

Am I reading things correctly?
